This is the story of Kalak, the great polar bear whose domain lay north of the Arctic Circle. There she raised her cubs, showed them how to hunt seal on the ice pack, taught them to fear nothing but man. Three times Agtuk, chief of the Endorah, came upon her and three times the bear eluded him. So he set out a fourth time....

Kalak of the Ice is one of Jim Kjelgaard's few books that don't center around a dog.
